Spring weather is predictably unpredictable here is Tasmania, and after beginning with summer-like weather in the first week of September, we've had snow this week. Its the first real dump of snow in around 8 years at Swallows Nest Farm. Thankfully I think the plants will cope okay, although many of the branches were bowed down under the weight of the snow.
Most of the Safari Goldstrikes have been harvested - if they hadn't been I imagine they would be bent over like the plants beside them.
Pink Ice ... literally.
Maui Sunset and Tall Red bending over with the weight of the snow.
The Tall Red is nearly finished flowering.
Safari Sunset acted as little cups, catching snow and ice.
The Waratahs were a little early this year. I'm not sure how they'll cope with the snow!
The kids had a lot of fun making snowmen and having snowball fights this morning - it was a memorable day on the farm!
